North Carolina State & National Historic Sites

North Carolina has a wealth of historic areas, townships, buildings, battle sites and even a World War II battleship! These sites have been witnesses to the births of future presidents, the assemblies of governing bodies, great advances in science and the arts, and the conflicts of armies. The growth and depth of North Carolina's 400 years of existence and impact on the nation and the world can be traced at these historic locations.

Please choose a link from the list of state and national historic sites below (the link will take you to the historic site's website) to learn more about its history, location, and hours of operation.

Thanks for your comment, Yasmin, and for using NCpedia. I'm sorry that you didn't find what you were looking for in the links we provided to the Historic Sites. You could try contacting the individual sites for additional information, or Reference Services at the NC Government & Heritage Library. Their direct email address is slnc.reference@ncdcr.gov. Additional contact information may be found for them at http://statelibrary.ncdcr.gov/reference/reference.html. Thanks for taking time to post your comment in NCpedia.

Your list is impressive and helpful in that it lists state and national sites but what would really benefit the traveler would be a list that includes local sites as well. Also, an alphabetic list of sites is fairly useless if you're visiting a region of the state. More helpful would be a map with the sites pinpointed and numbered with aN corresponding legend.

Thanks for your input, Karen. We love getting suggestions on how to improve NCpedia. We will consider alternative ways to present this information. VisitNC.com is another great resource for travellers. If you have any other ideas, please let us know!
